From Zero Aviation Background to Private Pilot
Sacramento, CA
Mar 16, 2026
I started with zero aviation background. In 3 months, I met the legal requirements, earned my private pilot certification, and started helping newer students through the learning curve.
What I did
- Went from zero to licensed private pilot.
- Flew cross-country into Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the world's busiest airspace.
- UC Berkeley ground school instructor.
- Certified volunteer pilot for youth.
- Helping build an experimental RV-6 aircraft.
